Linen can be a fairly expensive material, so expect to see higher prices than you would for cotton. Some brands blend linen with other materials to make it more affordable, so be sure to look for 100 percent linen, if that is what you’re after.

Bed Sheet Fabric Types

Bed linen is a broad term that refers to all the textiles used to dress a bed. This includes not only bed sheets, but also pillowcases, duvet covers, bedspreads, and other decorative elements like throw pillows and blankets. These textiles play an important role in enhancing the comfort, functionality, and aesthetics of your sleep space.

Duvet covers often have buttons, ties, an envelope flap, or zipper as a closure to keep the insert enclosed. It should be noted that a Duvet is the insert that goes inside the Duvet Cover; usually comprised of down or a down alternative. When the insert and duvet cover are together, sometimes it is referred to as a Comforter. It is common for Duvet Covers to have finishing details like flanges or embroidery along the side and bottom edges only.
